MM: HOW DID YOU ENTER THE WORLD
OF FITNESS MODELLING?
JADE: Growing up playing
competitive sports, I have always
had a love for an active lifestyle. In
2012, I decided I wanted more, and
that’s when I begin my competition
journey. In 2016, I won my IFBB Pro
Card for Bikini, signed with Magnum
Supplements, and have been actively
shooting around North America,
loving every minute of it!
MM: WHAT OTHER PURSUITS DO YOU
HAVE IN FITNESS?
JADE: My biggest pursuit within
the fitness industry is to inspire
and encourage people(women
especially) to take risks, to step out
of your comfort zone to be the best,
strongest you. Health and fitness
have helped build my confidence
in so many ways. It doesn't matter
who you are, or where you've been.
It's never, ever too late to become
whoever you want to be!
MM: WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO
OTHER WOMEN WHO ARE CONSIDERING
A FITNESS LIFESTYLE?
JADE: Patience, consistency
and time! Nothing in life happens
overnight and anything worth
working for takes some time. Don't
be nervous, and don't feel out of your
element. You are taking the first step,
and that's huge! Remind yourself
that all you have to see is the first
step, not the entire staircase. I truly
hope that other people can find that
same positivity and mental strength
through health and fitness as I have.
